Learn How Our Successful Practice Transitions Make The Difference

Get an accurate picture of what to expect and how to get started with planning your transition to an independent financial advisor.

Many firms only offer support to help re-paper an advisor’s book of business, but we know there’s much more to an effective transition that simply re-papering your assets. Before an advisor affiliates with us, we make sure we provide an accurate picture of what to expect before, during and after a transition.

As part of this service, we provide a consultation to give you clear expectations for your transition. This consultation will answer your questions, address your concerns, and lay the groundwork for your next steps. Our practice transition consultations will cover:

An overview of the whole process and the expected amount of time needed to complete the transition.

What to expect in terms of client and asset retention.

The training and support you should expect before, during, and after the transition.

The resources available for your growth and practice development.

Ideas on how to communicate the move to your clients and what this means to them.

Your expected payout, expenses, and net income after the transition.

We want to provide you with an honest perspective on what life will be like for you here if you decide to make the move and affiliate with Focus Financial.

What Our Advisors Say About Us

Brad Davis: Le Sueur, MN, Joined Focus Financial in 2016
We explored many options before changing firms and broker/dealer. We could not be happier in our choice to join Focus Financial! The team at Focus has delivered on their promises and gone above and beyond to give us a smooth transition and a warm welcome to our team. This feels like home, and we are grateful to be here. Thanks to everyone at Focus who made this possible.

Matt Krajniak: Naperville, IL, Joined Focus Financial in 2016
I have only one regret with my decision to move to Focus Financial, which is that I didn’t decide to do it sooner. I had never been affiliated with a company outside of my previous firm, where I spent years building my career from scratch. It was tough for me to imagine finding a new environment that would benefit both me and my client base. From helping me plan my client transitions to executing on commitments, the team at Focus Financial continued to go above and beyond my expectations. Furthermore, when my wife/business partner and I were able to meet other advisors from Focus Financial’s network in person, we realized we had not felt such a sense of belonging in years. It may have taken nearly 11 years, but we’ve found a place our growing practice can call home.

Sean Kimberley: Urbandale, IA, Joined Focus Financial in 2015
The timeline of my affiliation with Focus Financial didn’t come through a traditional path, and yet the transition experience has far exceeded my expectations. After 20 years in this business, I don’t need much attention, but the attention I have received has all been beneficial. Focus Financial has a phenomenal value-added proposition in its recruiting and transition team. They know their business forwards and backwards, and that level of skill gave them the wherewithal to act quickly when they saw the potential for a new business opportunity for me in my geographic location. That high level of engagement, and the support to act on it, is something I never had before and that I’m grateful to have now.
